Seems gratuitously exploitative without really servicing the plot, which is belabored, when you can find it. Sort of a waste of Hank Azaria. I suspect LRD can act with a better vehicle and direction; she’s not the problem. Tesfaye has no acting chops, period; stick to music. He’s not remotely credible.
Screenplays…sorry, they suck; they are designed to be offensive so that the creator can claim the haters are simply uncool. That isn’t the problem. There’s no story there. There’s no there there. “Not all experiences are good.” Ah, yeah.
Levinson: this is a fail.
